Slovak foreign minister: Russia will aim missiles at US installations

Slovakia’s Foreign Minister Ján Kubiš said on Friday that Russia has repeated warnings it will aim missiles at US installations planned in the Czech Republic and neighbouring Poland - part of a broader defense shield. Mr Kubiš revealed the news after meeting with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Bucharest. He added that while Moscow clearly continues to oppose the system, it was apparent Russia would search for ways to accept the project. At the NATO Summit on Thursday it was announced that the US had reached agreement with the Czech Republic on the siting of its radar base on Czech soil. NATO countries also fully backed the US plan, saying the project would be integrated into a future NATO system.
